Hi capt_nemo777,

I'm sorry but XML Data Islands only works with Internet Explorer browsers!!!

check w3schools (http://www.w3schools.com/Xml/xml_dont.asp) for more info about it.

To do the work you want to do, you should use JavaScript and XML DOM, or CSS.
(from the link I gave you you can explore more the way to do it)

ciao
